Easter Monday at Kenilworth Road

Our official match preview for Bristol City

Kenilworth Road.

Luton Town are spending Easter Monday on home soil as we host play-off hopefuls Bristol City at Kenilworth Road (Monday, 3pm UK).

Matt Bloomfield’s Hatters picked up a huge three points against relegation rivals Derby County and will look to replicate that result again to complete an Easter double.

Liam Manning’s Robins strengthened their play-off spot with victory against Sunderland at Ashton Gate on Good Friday.

Last time out

Luton came out on top in our Good Friday six-pointer at Pride Park against Derby.

Millenic Alli scored the only goal of the game as the resilient performance from the Hatters brought a clean sheet and the three points back to Bedfordshire.

The opposition

It has been a brilliant month so far for Bristol City. Three wins from their last four games has cemented their place in the top six going into the final three games with a four-point lead on Middlesbrough in seventh.

The Robins have been in great form since the turn of the year – they have lost just three Championship games in 2025.

Recent victories against West Brom and Sunderland have only boosted the confidence of Manning’s men as they hope to extend their season into the play-offs.

Rob Dickie has been a constant in the Robins defence and marked his good form with a goal on Good Friday.

Last time we met in LU4

We took all three points when Bristol City last visited Kenilworth Road in March 2023.

2022/23 top scorer Morris scored within the first five minutes as we held on for the victory under the lights in LU4.

86 yellow cards and two red cards have been handed out by Busby across his 28 games this season.
